Context of 1 Chronicles 14:11
9And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. 10And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And Yhwh said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand. So they came up to Baal–perazim; and David smote them there.
